Questions, answered.
Everything we're asked most often about the pen, ordering for business, and what happens after the ink runs out.
The barrel is kraft paper, the ink is a standard ballpoint fill, and the cap holds a biodegradable seed capsule — everything needed for the pen's first life, and its second.
Once the ink runs out, remove the seed capsule from the cap and plant it in suitable soil. Give it sunlight, water and time, and it's on its way.
You can choose from Herbs, Flowers, or Vegetables and Fruits when you place your order.
The seed capsule is the part that's designed to go into soil — it's biodegradable and built for planting. The barrel is kraft paper, a renewable, low-impact material in its own right, but planting is specifically about the capsule.

Not at the moment — for now, we ship within Australia only.
Most promotional pens are made to be handed out, not kept — plastic, disposable, and destined for landfill once the ink runs dry. EarthMend gives that same everyday object a second purpose: plant the seed capsule, and something new gets to grow.
Yes — EarthMend pens are made in Australia.
We try hard not to overstate what one pen can do. EarthMend isn't a solution to climate change, and it isn't a claim of zero environmental impact — it's a biodegradable seed capsule, a specific material choice, clearly explained, and one thoughtful option among many.
